Never seen this photo before

I stumbled across this photo on The Academy's Twitter page commemorating Batman Day. It's taken from the the alley scene.



Has anybody seen this before, or is it rare? It's a great shot of Keaton posing in costume.

Hard to be sure but the lighting setup looks very similar to other photos taken from that alley set. Based on precisely nothing, I'll go ahead and assume that this picture was taken at the same time as other more well known alley pics.

What remains a mystery is why this photo is such a rarity. It shows off the production design of the film, implies Batman's awesomeness as a brawler and @$$-kicker and it also is a pretty good tease of his outfit, showing enough to whet one's appetite to see the movie but it doesn't give away the store. All in all, it's a pretty good publicity photo for use in magazines and the like.

I can only assume that other publicity photos were considered to be technically better overall so this one never got much use. And honestly, B89 is an embarrassment of riches in terms of visuals so I guess there was plenty to choose from.

Great photo though, no doubts there. Good find!

Has anybody else ever seen these Polaroid photos of the production before? These were at an auction last year. They're pretty cool!

I saw this photo of Jack Nicholson and Jerry Hall on the set of the Flugelheim Museum scene, and I had to save it.

"Nice outfit".

Looks like Keaton and Nicholson are either listening to instructions, or reviewing the cathedral footage on camera off-screen.



^This is a better pose than the other photo of Keaton leaning a little bit to the right.
